1924 Karate Documentary Footage

I was sent these youtube links earlier today. It’s said to be 1924 documentary footage of Gichin Funakoshi and a karate training camp. I’ve not watched it all the way through yet, but I hope it is of interest.

All the best,

Iain

PS I’ll never complain about a gi again when you see the “alternative” training clothing!

This was really cool footage, thanks for sharing. Interesting to see just how much has been maintained in the general techniques of kata depending on the style we have chosen. Watched all three, and indeed I'm glad we have gi's

Cool footage. Very nostalgiac i'm sure to the older sensei's out there. Not sure if training with thong speedo's in a dojo now would be received....perhaps the ladies would love it! Hahaha.....as an earlier post mentioned, for sure, the kata movements have definitely been preserved in our current days...they look the same!
